Cooking at Home

This month has been a whirlwind. We've been so busy house hunting, putting in offers and being outbid. It was a really good experience, and possibly even a better learning experience since we didn't win our first house. With the new addition to our family, it's time for some more space. I think our cats will love being able to roam about a larger space and watch squirrel TV all day.
Even though we have been busy, we still have had some great meals together at home. It's been such a cold winter and the snow storms continue to pummel the region. One of the best meals on a cold day is nabe. With some frozen snow crab legs from Super H, I'm able to throw together a seafood miso nabe without too much effort.
 Snow crab, shrimp and pork belly miso nabe with daikon, mushrooms and cabbage.
After eating the nabe, we throw in some ramen noodles to the flavorful broth.
 On one of the snow days when the office was closed, I made a chicken pho.
Light and flavorful, very comforting chicken and rice noodle soup.
 More snow crab, tofu and pork belly with cabbage and garlic chive nabe.
Seafood Paella with clams, squid and shrimp.
Following our house inspection, we picked up ingredients for making a delicious paella at home with some Spanish wine, cheese and chorizo. Spending time with my husband at home with our cats is one of the nicest ways to unwind after a long work week.
